dbmail-pop3d: provides access to the DBMail system to client support

NAME

SYNOPSIS

dbmail-pop3d [-f configfile] [-p pidfile] [-nvVh]

DESCRIPTION

The dbmail-pop3d daemon is a fully featured POP3 server. It will spawn
into a number of default processes as set in the dbmail.conf file.
These processes will enable full POP3 communication with clients.

OPTIONS

-p pidfile
Specify an alternate pid file. The daemons are currently hardcoded
to use /var/run/dbmail-<daemon> for their pid files, and will halt
if the pid file cannot be written. Use the -p pidfile option to
place the pid file in your system's preferred location.
-n
No daemonize. The program remains attached to the console from which
it was started. This is quite useful for debugging when combined
with the -v option.

COMMON OPTIONS

-f configfile
Specify an alternate config file. The utilities are currently
hardcoded to use /etc/dbmail.conf for their configs, and will halt
if the config file cannot be found. Use the -f configfile option to
specify your system's preferred config file location.
-q
Quietly skip interactive prompts and helpful status messages which
would otherwise be printed to stdout. Use two -q's to silence errors
which would otherwise be printed to stderr.
-v
Operate verbosely. Some of the utilities in the DBMail suite can
take two -v's for extra verbosity. Those which don't understand this
convention won't complain about having the extra -v and will simply
operate at their normal verbosity.
-V
Show the version and copyright, then exit.
-h
Show a brief summary of options, then exit.
